LeBron James on France: I wasn’t very impressed with their last game

During a recent interview on Yahoo Sports, Tony Parker gave his take on how he sees Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs career ending up. “There’s nothing I can tell him. He’s ready. . .He’s not bothered by the pressure or the expectations, he’s a little like LeBron [James]. The only one that can compare with so much expectation before he arrived is LeBron James,” Parker said. “Victor, the way he played his rookie season with the Spurs, he was unbelievable. So I hope it translates with a lot of championships for the Spurs, and I hope it will translate with a lot of medals for French basketball.” -via Clutch Points / August 2, 2024
